Download Paint.NET 3.30 RC1

The first release candidate of Paint.net 3.30 was released on Tuesday. This photo editing program owes its name to the fact that it is developed in C#, and version 2.0 of the .Net Framework is therefore required to run the program. In terms of functionality, Paint.net is somewhere between Paint, which comes standard with Windows, and professional commercial programs such as Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop. Upgrading to the new version can be done from within the program itself, or a 1.51 megabyte web installer from this page are downloaded. Here’s what’s changed in the program since the second beta release:

Fixed:

• Various UI issues with the Levels adjustment.
• When pasting text into the Text tool with Ctrl+V, it would hide the nub for moving the text.
• If the startup tool was set to the Zoom or Pan (Hand) tool, then the toolbar would render incorrectly.

changed:

• Enabled some compiler settings which improve security via support for DEP (/nxcompat), and Windows Vista’s Address Space Layout Randomization feature (ASLR) (/dynamicbase).
